Hmm, I see from your first post that it is the body itself where you are applying overflow. Try putting it more specifically related to your ad. I can't be more specific with any advice, though, without working on it myself :rolleyes:

:rolleyes: http://www.w3schools.com/css/pr_pos_overflow.asp You may be adding overflow property to the wrong element. Which element do you not want to overflow? Perhaps #pageSurround? Getting this to work the way you want will require a little trial and error on your part. Overflow property is valid CSS.

Bill, what a lot of double-posting . . . first two threads, now a double post in the same thread. Sorry you're having so much trouble. To have a chance of getting alot of response, try 1) mentioning which skin you are using; Classic, Killer, Legend, 2) give a link to your cart so we can see and duplicate your problem, 3) search the forums as this has been dealt with before. I have given some information on this in posts about 2 weeks to a month old. Also, I have the Classic and Legend skins in full-screen version on my site for 99 cents. To go any further toward helping you we will need more info from you, and less double vision ;)

Hi Tom, 1. Top-level Categories are listed on index page. Anyhing under a top-level cate3gory is a subcategory. 2. You can specify a height, but there is generally no need to do this. The image will resize proportionally, so shrinking the width will also shrink the height accordingly. If you specify both height and width, you may distort the image's proportions. 3. You can specify any properties you want there, that can be used with "image" or "img" -

He's repeating what the error message said: Language error problem He's saying that the site looks great in IE when using the non-secure URL: http://wyrd-games.net/shop/ as opposed to https://wyrd-games.net/shop/ He's saying at minimum, you'll find a problem in the configuration setting $config['rootDir_SSL'] Finally, he's saying that the error message is responsible for the page not centering. At least, I think that's what he's written Sorry I can't be of any more help than that B)

Hmm, I like the main category images to be the same size as the product images . . . and I like to create images specificly for the main categories, usually a collage of some product images for that category. As to subcategories, I just re-size them in the stylesheet. Open up layout.css and look for the i.d. selector, #subCats, and the class selector, .subCat Between these two (that is, after the closing } of #subCats and before .subCat) place the following blocks of code: #subCats image { width:175px; margin-top: 5px; } #subCats img { width:175px; margin-top:5px; } This will resize the Subcategory images to your preferences, just change the values 175px and 5px to the values you want BTW, this tip is included in my tutorial entitled, "Latest Products & Subcategory Display Fix" - look in the downloads sect9ion under tutorials and documentation for CC3 . . . To summarize . . . 1. Make custom image for main category images, in whatever size you want. Upload to images/uploads 2. Set size (and any other properties you wish to set) for subcategory images by adding statements about image in #subCats in the layout.css stylesheet.

It happens in any category page that contains no prods, even if cat contains subcats with prods. You can remove it completely in template, skins/your_skin/styleTemplates/content/viewCat.tpl Look for this block of code: <!-- BEGIN: noProducts --> <div>{TXT_NO_PRODUCTS}</div> <!-- END: noProducts --> Remove it, or comment the section out like this: <!-- BEGIN: noProducts <div>{TXT_NO_PRODUCTS}</div> END: noProducts --> The alternative would be to change the message, in which case you leave viewCat.tpl alone and go to your language file: language/en/lang.inc.php and find this line: 'no_prods_in_cat' => "There are no products in this category.", Change the part in the double quotation marks to say what you want, for instance, "There are no additional products below. Please choose a subcategory or another category to view products."

"insert these lines after . . . " Each line starts on a new line :D

Beautiful site, Holly! Great work! Good luck with the candles :D

@ elmbrook, look in layout.css, change the properties of .boxTitleLeft, .boxTitleRight B)

This would be in your language file, yourStore_directory/language/en/lang.inc.php en = English, do other languages by analogy . . . Open this file with a text editor and search for occurances of the words, "product" and "products" so that you can find the particular phrases you wish to change in the store. The words that occur in the store titles, etc. are given on the right side of the equations in double quotes, you can change these words and they will then appear in your store. DO NOT change words on the left side of the equation. EXAMPLE: At line 1426 you find this: 'products' => "Products:", You would change to this: 'products' => "Downloads:", You will need to work throught the whole file manually to find all the right places where you would want to change "Products" to "Downloads" in store displays.

Well, netwizard, no one has answered yet - maybe someone will eventually. If this were my problem, here is what I would try: Poke around the CC files to find if there is a variable used to show current location, it would probably look like {CURRENT} OR {CURRENT_PAGE}, etc. Then try java script:location='{CURRENT_PAGE}';

You're welcome :zorro:

OK, thanks, I just checked. They're not right.

Anyway, I know that CubeCart works in regard to the problem you're having. It's just that without GD you'll need to manually upload thumbs. Here is the way that I do it. If you start from scratch and go through every step, I believe it will work. 1. Use good-sized images for your products so your customer can see them well . . . at least 300px wide . . . Examples: product1.gif, product2.jpg 2. Make thumbnails from these images on your PC by resizing, as I would suggest, either 75px or 100px wide - name these images by adding "thumb_" as a prefix to the original image names. Examples: thumb_product1.gif, thumb_product2.jpg 3. Upload all your larger product images to images/uploads via FTP. 4. Upload all your thumbnails to images/uploads/thumbs via FTP. 5. If you have products in your store already, go to each one (edit product), browse existing images, choose appropriate image for each product. This will be the original, larger images, not the thumbnails! Be sure to do this with each product to be sure each product is connected to the correct image! 6. If you have products to add, add them and when adding click to browse existing images. Again, each product must be connected to the appropriate image. These are not the thumbs, they are the oririnal, larger images. 7. Now CC should be able to find your thumbnails if you have completed every step correctly! :zorro:

Treasure55, I see you are on the board right now. Can you, by chance, remove the index.html pages from both images/uploads and from images/uploads/thumbs right away? If you will remove those temporarily, so that I can see what you have in those directories, maybe I could be of more help. I only have about 30 minutes here before I have to leave, though. If you can remove them temporarily, let me know . . .

Hmm, yes there has to be a way, but I don't know. Maybe someone else could help. There may be a tag in CC that would tell it to reload the {current_page} at the link location. Let's throw it out there and see if someone else has your answer . . . PROBLEM At Netwizard's site, he has a link to a chat feature, but when a visitor clicks the link, the chat box window would open, but the original browser window would go blank with only the text "[Object]" showing on the page. The link was coded like this: <a href="javascript:window.open('chat_url')"> I advised him to change the link to this: <a href="javascript:location='http://store_url/index.php';window.open('chat_url')"> This works to load the homepage into the browser window that contained the link. Problem is, the link appears in the right column of the store on all the store pages. How can javascript tell the browser to load the current page back in to the window containing the link when opening the new window? Anybody? ------------------------- According to my little javascript reference, there are eight properties that go with location: hash host hostname href pathname port protocol search If any of that may help you script writers out there . . .

Joe, I know you must have already edited all the img calls, but if you (like me) detest the border link color stuff, a simple addition to your stylesheet would cure it site-wide with no muss or fuss: a image, a img { border: none; }

That is all done with background images, similar to the way Killer uses images to create "tabs" for category titles. You'd have to tie the layout in with styleTemplates/boxes/siteDocs.tpl, as that contains a loop that causes all the site docs to display on index with single {SITE_DOCS} or somesuch variable. Go for it! No guts no glory EDIT: You might want to look at Twisted's tutorial on CC2 about "Change the Look of Your CubeCart Completely" - although it is about version 2 of CC, it is a good, informational manual about using images to make a fancy page :rolly:

I've said it here several times, if you are going to work on your skin, copy the whole skin folder and give it a new name! You will always have a copy of ALL the source files for your skin Upload your "myNewSkin" folder to the skins directory at your webserver, and you can choose "myNewSkin" from the ACP dropdown :P

I'm just thinking out loud, really. I'm sure I could solve your problem somehow, maybe with a table having three or four equal cells across. Have you tried changing the width of latest products, or changing quantities of latest products to show? I think there are switches for this in ACP General Settings. Maybe by adjusting width and/or number of prods per row you can make it all even. There is a {VAL_WIDTH} variable in the file I mentioned above; I believe this is pulling the size that you set for thumbnails in ACP. You can also specify quantity of items to show in latest prods. Using all this info, I'm sure you can figure something out. On your other prob, did you try the javascript I sent for "location" - just curious as to whether that solved your problem :rolly:

The answer is easy - because the uploader is uploading what is supposed to be your product image, not a thumbnail of your product image. If GD is installed and working properly on your webserver, then CubeCart will create a thumb automatically when you link your product image to your product, when adding products. The thumbnail will be automatically made and named by adding "thumb_" as a prefix to the original image name, and stored in images/uploads/thumbs You can manually upload a thumbnail to the thumbs folder. Just make an image of the appropriate thumbnail size, name it "thumb_" + "yourImageName.ext", where "yourImageName.ext" is the name and file extension of an actual image in the uploads folder. Note that you generally have to manually connect an image to its product, but if you are using the uploader to upload images one-by-one as you add products, all of that should be done, and a thumbnail should have been added to /thumbs. Are all your product images larger than the size you set for thumbs in your ACP? I would hope so. If the product images are smaller than the thumb size, that may cause a problem in generating a thumbnail, but I don't know if this is the case, haven't tested it. If not, then perhaps your problem is with GD on your webserver . . .

Wow, I wrote a bunch of stuff out for you, but I forgot to "submit" and lost it I won't write everything out again . . . Just look in styleTemplates/content/index.tpl and look for the division that has "float:left; text-align:center;" Remove "float:left;" Then look in the previous division, where you have: <div style="margin-top: 10px;"> and add centering to that division: <div style="margin-top: 10px; text-align:center;"> (It is the division just before the loop "BEGIN: repeat_prods") Now test it. In some, and maybe all, browsers, you may only get one product per row without floating them to the left. If that's the case, you may have to use a table there instead of the proposed solution I gave. At least you'll be in the right file. HTH Mark

Put a link to your site and I'll have a look at it . . .
